Bushnell trophy scopes hold up goog on blackpowder guns. I know three that have the cheaper bushnel banner scope and hold up good. There is nothing like primitive hunting with my stainless sythentic savage smokeless powder muzzleloader.

Aimless, I mounted a Luepold 2-7 vari XII on my Rem 700ML using leupold QR bases and rings. Works nice. I would suggest you consider a quick detachable scope mounting system for your muzzleloader to facilitate cleaning.
DakotaKid, I'd use one of these  if I could! These NY deer are nasty little SOBs

Heh, in Pennsylvania, only iron-sighted flintlocks are legal for deer hunting during the "primitive' season, the last I knew. I got about $250 in my ss 700ML when Jumbo Sports was going out of business a few years back. I think 40% off the normal price, IIRC... |

scopes were illegal in NY until this year as they were seen as "unsporting" Heck crossbows are still illegal in NY, which I suspect is still a remainder of there being illegal in Europe. Crossbows had sufficient penetration to punch through a noble's expensive plate armor so they were banned and that banned continued even centuries after the reason behind it was no longer relevant, that distaste for crossbows apparently made it to the US also.
SP10-that sounds like a real good price for a Remington, though I haven't paid close attention. |

I use a Burris compact 3-9 on my T/C Encore. Burris double/dove tail bases and signature rings. This just might be the best blackpowder/scope setup available. I keep it set on 3X while I stalk and rattle and turn it up when I'm hunting over greenfields. The higher powered optics really aid in distinguishing "legal" bucks - in MS only 4 points or better are allowed.
